Our Little Holiday (3)

  Our friend's bought a ten acre property last year on Vancouver Island. It is sort of my dream property. I fell in love. It is so beautiful! My children felt so happy and free there. They did not even think to ask to watch a movie and they had a great time collecting eggs, swimming in the river, making up plays, swinging and so much more. They packed a whole lot into two full days of farm life.

                                                               This is their driveway


                                   The house with all our wet towels from river swimming


                                                                 This is Charley.


                                                                Their dreamy barn


                                                              The chicken yard


                                                         The neighbor's field


                             The two houses together with the mountain in the background

These two girls became best best friends instantly. It was the most precious precious thing to behold. They are both middle children and they just understood each other's hearts.


                         We don't have a trampoline so this was  a big exciting treat for him


                                     Some how rope swings are always the best swings aren't they?


    Their pond and all our seven children around it plus some parents. My friend and I have known each other since we were eight. We have been through some really hard things together and there are little ones missing in this picture that we will again see some day up in heaven. When I see a picture like this I think about them and love them so much too!!!


                                               Little friends just five weeks apart in age



                                                           This sweet girl is so adorable


                                                       Three generations in this picture


                                               He LOVED horse back riding. Who knew!!!!







                  The dad's earnestly chatting about? Maybe this wood shed that is being constructed.



                                            We ate every meal beside the garden



                                                        Time to head to the swimming hole!





I went riding! My first time in YEARS (I owned a horse back in the day when I was twelve!) as you may be able to tell by my expression...I was a bit unsure but it all came back to me and I had a wonderful ride.


                                                   They have an outhouse...of course


                         This is their chicken house...I just can't even handle all the beauty!!!!!


The littles are preparing to watch a play put on by the three oldest as grandparents and parents stand to watch as well


             And this is the play they constructed a stage from the summer kitchen and a sheet



All in all seriously this place was just manna from heaven for my soul. I am so thankful we went. We were so blessed.

  1. For every picture I comment in my head and so I can't leave a proper one here or it would be a post if its own. Thank you for sharing!
